Hummingbirds have very large eyes in proportion to their body weight. The eyes are set on the side of the head allowing the hummingbird to see both ahead (binocular vision) and on the side peripherally (monocular vision). The eyes are protected by twelve (12) or more bones surrounding it called ossicles. Hummingbirds have many more rods and cones than humans in their eyes to help them see well. This makes them better able to see colors and ultraviolet light. Hummingbird's eyes will regularly outweigh a hummingbird's brain. Joy-Vernon	A hummingbird has two ears located on each side of the hummingbird's head. A hummingbird can hear better and easily decipher small fluctuations of tones better than most humans. Joy-Vernon	A hummingbird's brain is approximately 4.2% of its body weight, the largest proportion in the bird kingdom. Hummingbirds are very smart and they can remember every flower they have been to, and how long it will take a flower to refill. These photos were taken on August 14, 2009 Joy-Vernon
Hummingbirds have regular eyelids to block light from each eye. Hummingbirds also have a third eyelid call a Nictitating Membrane that is clear and will protect the hummingbird's eyes while flying. Photographed August 14, 2009 Joy-Vernon	These Giant Sunflowers are popping up all over our yard due to the sunflower seeds we put out for the birds to eat. The sunflowers sometimes come up from the bird's droppings. We do not plant them! This is one of several that are growing this year in Rick's vegetable garden.
